The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

The grand hall was quite big but there were not many students inside it. The main reason for that was because the number of people who could awaken a symbol were far and few between. So the amount of students who joined this special school were not many.

Even among the few students who would be Rein's classmate, he was in a special position as a UR grade Blessed. So he was allowed to sit in one of the five private rooms to watch the welcoming ceremony. But Rein did not do that and simply took a seat among the regular students.

Rein was extremely handsome and even more than that did not look like a 10 year old. Even though all the Blessed had a high growth rate, looking like a 15 or 16 year old was still extremely unusual. So Rein was attracting a lot of attention.

But he did not mind all this attention and calmly waited for the ceremony to begin. A dozen or so more students appeared after Rein and also took their seat. One student even went to sit in the private room while looking at the other students condescendingly.

After about half an hour, the teachers started appearing and finally the main ceremony began. The current principal was the first person to go on the stage to address the new students. He was a middle aged man who looked unassuming but Rein could feel that he was quite a strong fighter.

Obviously he was nowhere near his or Sophia's level but still he was not weak at all. Actually that made sense. This man was a veteran who had been fighting for the nation for over 15 years and was also a SR grade Blessed. So it was completely normal that he was quite powerful.

After the principal a few teachers also came to the stage and told the students about the school and how they were expected to behave. Normally all the students would get bored in this kind of setting but all the teachers who came to the stage were celebrated heroes of the nation and were extremely famous.

So seeing them taking in person was extremely exciting for most of the students, so they were not bored at all.

Then at last it was time for the student representative to address the class. None of the students knew who was going to be the student representative and the principal always declared the name of the representative in the welcoming ceremony.

Becoming a student representative in the special school was not only a matter of prestige but it also came with a lot of authorities and benefits. So this was a huge matter for the students.

But most of the students knew that they had no chance of becoming a representative with their grade of symbol. One of the students was able to enter the private room, so the other students were quite confident that he was going to be the student representative this time.

He was actually well known among the students as he was the son of the Caluhod family. The Caluhod family was one of the shareholders of the Dark Aqua Conglomerate which was the biggest organisation of this nation. So his father was a business tycoon. He was also rumoured to have a SR grade symbol so his becoming the student representative would not be surprising.

But the name that the principal called out was not his. And after hearing the name of Rein, many people suddenly remembered about a legendary person from seven years ago who was supposed to be a UR grade Blessed. That person was protected by the government very securely so no one had any detailed information about him.

For that reason, even though it was known that he was going to be a pillar of the nation in the future, he was not really remembered well by most of the people. But hearing his name again refreshed everyone's mind. So all of them looked toward the private rooms to take a look at this legendary figure. Everyone was sure that someone like Rein would definitely be sitting in the private room.

But no one came out of here and instead a boy stood up among the regular students and started walking toward the stage. This made all the students to be surprised. Actually this student was already attracting a lot of attention for looking older than the other students and now it made sense to everyone. Obviously a UR grade Blessed would be more grown up than all the other students.

Rein did not mind the gazes of the people on him and silently went to the stage. Then he gave his short speech that Sophia had prepared for him. It was not like Rein was unable to give a speech from his mind but Sophia was way too excited about writing a speech for Rein so he just let her be and decided to worry about it.

After that one of the celebrity teachers asked all the students to follow him and took them to their class. He was going to be their class teacher. Rein was getting a lot of curious, excited and jealous looks but no one dared to talk with him. Rein did not mind that either and continued following behind the teacher.

When everyone arrived at a somewhat empty part of the school, the class teacher suddenly attacked Rein. A bluish light started to glow his soldier and seven large serpents appeared beside him and attacked Rein. This attack was definitely very sudden but Rein was perfectly ready and all the serpents immediately got frozen. And after some time they all turned into dust after dying.

Seeing that Rein was able to deal with his powerful attack without much trouble, a ruthless expression appeared on the teacher's face. He then took out a red pill and ate that. Immediately the bluish light on his shoulder became even brighter.

The class teacher summoned the snakes again and this time all the snakes looked stronger than before. They were longer and thicker than before. Again the seven snakes attacked Rein from all sides.

This red pill was called "Overclocking Pill". This was not Rein's first time seeing this pill as many assassins who had attacked him before had used this pill. This pill was able to boost the power of someone's symbol for a short amount of time and it was extremely rare.

But the side effects of this pill could even be fatal so the blessed were advised to avoid it or to use it only in a do or die situation.

But this teacher was just a R grade Blessed so even with overclocking, he was not that big of a deal. A wall of fire appeared before Rein to block the snakes. As soon as that happened a sly smile appeared on the teacher's face and he threw something toward Rein.

A loud explosion happened in the area where Rein was standing. The radius of the explosion was small but the power was very high. Seeing that the teacher started smiling as his plan to make Rein use a fire ability and then use that same fire to ignite a powerful flame stone was a great success. All the students also looked at the area of explosion with worry.

So, would Rein be able to withstand this powerful explosion ?
